.NET Framework

The .NET Framework is a technology that supports building and running the next generation of applications and XML Web services. The .NET Framework is designed to fulfill the following objectives.

• To provide a consistent object-oriented programming environment whether object code is stord and executed locally, executed remotely.
• To provide a code-execution environment that minimizes software deployment and versioning conflicts.
• To provide a code-execution environment that promotes safe execution of code, including code created by an unknown or semi-trusted third party.
• To provide a code-execution environment that eliminated the performance problems of scripted or interpreted environments.
• To make the developer experience consistent across widely varying type of applications, such as Windows-Based Applications and Web-Based Applications.
• To build all communication on industry standards to ensure that code based on the .NET Framework can integrate with any other code.

Introduction of C#

C# is an elegant and type-safe object-oriented language that enables developers to build a variety of secure and robust applications that run on the .NET Framework. You can use C# to create Windows client applications, XML Web services, distributed components, client-server applications, database applications, and much, much more. Visual C# provides an advanced code editor, convenient user interface designers, integrated debugger, and many other tools to make it easier to develop applications based on the C# language and the .NET Framework.
